[Xmca-l] Re: FW: Fulani Fellows

[HENRY SHONERD]

Peter,
I love the mission statement of All Stars Project (allstars.org <http://allstars.org/>) at their website:

“We transform the lives of youth, and poor communities using the developmental power of performance in partnership with caring adults.”

On stage. Where have I heard that before? “In partnership with caring adults”. Very child- and community centered. I have this image of Beth as a pre-school teacher. Recency phenomenon, I guess. And the power of narrative and dialog. This feels like consumation to me.

Very nice!

Henry

> I'm writing to ask for your help with a new initiative of the All Stars Project. It's a post-graduate fellowship program called the Fulani Fellows, made possible by a recent grant the All Stars received. The purpose of the fellowship is to provide the opportunity to work directly with developmental psychologist, activist and grassroots educator, Lenora Fulani, in her many projects that incorporate new ways of addressing poverty, human development and public policy.

I thought that you might be able to recommend some candidates for this position in addition to getting the job description (attached) out to your network.

Ideal candidates for this paid fellowship are recent graduates of masters and doctoral programs, graduate students, and faculty in the fields of education, psychology, cultural anthropology, social work, youth development, applied theater, poverty, public policy - or the equivalent life experience.
> The All Stars will place three fellows in each of three cycles, the first beginning in January 2016. If you know of anyone who would make a strong Fulani Fellow program manager or fellowship candidate, you can have them reach Sarah Plotkin at 212-356-8431, splotkin@allstars.org<mailto:splotkin@allstars.org> to initiate the process.
> Thanks in advance for your support as the All Stars Project launches this important and exciting new initiative. Your help in distributing the job description - we need our program manager in place before we can select our fellows - and in keeping an eye out for candidates to become Fulani Fellows, is invaluable.
